Rennslows down the footstepsto arrive at the riverside, haltstoRumseytenbeyond.雷恩放慢脚步来到河边,离拉姆齐十步之外站住。Heobserves the situation, discovered that thissandbankhalf a month ago the place that crawledfrom the river, now arrived here again, but the situationactually, reallya littledramatizedcompletelyin turn.
他环视一圈,发现这片河滩正是半个月前自己从河里爬上来的地方,如今再次来到这里,但是处境却完全反过来了,实在有点戏剧化。Rumseykneels there, both handshave lifted the top of the head, does not dareto move.
拉姆齐跪在那里,双手举过头顶,一点也不敢动。HeexperiencedinRennwith own eyesthat the might of spear/gun, moreoverRenncanpursue, has definitely killedAllsburg.
他亲眼见识了雷恩手里那把枪的威力,而且雷恩能追过来,肯定已经杀死了艾斯伯格。Only thentranscendentcankillanothertranscendent, thiscertainlyispowerful„Gunner”!
只有超凡者才能杀死另一个超凡者,这位一定是强大的“枪手”!Hedoes not have the night visionability, can only see that a shadowis approaching.
他没有夜视能力,只能看到一道黑影在靠近。Gunnerstandstherehas not spoken, actuallycreates the fearfulpressure. Moreoverhisbackis injured, the acheandfrighteneddualsuffering, makingbeing in a cold sweat of hisforeheadnon-stop, the riverwindblow, whole bodyinshivering of being able to stop.枪手站在那里没有说话,却带来可怕的压力。而且他背部受伤,疼痛和恐惧的双重折磨,让他额头不停的冒出冷汗,河风一吹,全身都在止不住的颤抖。„Whatsecret do youknow?”Rennmakes noise the question.
“你知道什么秘密?”雷恩出声问话。
A Rumseyloosen, saw a ray of going on livinghope, suddenlythought that the Gunnersoundsoundsveryfamiliar, in the brainthinksimmediately,subconsciouscalling out: „Renn?”
拉姆齐心里一松,看到了一丝活下去的希望,忽然觉得枪手的声音听起来非常熟悉,脑中立即想起来,下意识的叫道:“雷恩?”Hewill not misunderstand, thisis the Rennsound.
他绝不会听错,这是雷恩的声音。Wasthreeyears of schoolmateinextraordinary academy, originallyrelatedwell, diedinownafterward, hewill not forgetRenn, thatreceivedmanyfemaleschoolmatesto admirein the schoolsimultaneouslybymaleschoolmateenvious hatredRenn.
在超凡学院做了三年同学,本来关系就不错,后来又死在自己手上,他绝不会忘记雷恩,那个在学院里受到许多女同学爱慕同时又被男同学嫉恨的雷恩。RumseytookRennto introduce that at that time the sword techniquehallis the assistant, one of the causesistoRennenvious hatredin secret, drawshimto launchas the retaliation.
拉姆齐当时之所以把雷恩介绍到剑术馆当助手,起因之一就是对雷恩的暗中嫉恨,拉他下水作为报复。In the darkness, the Gunnerformalsomorelooksmorelooks familiar, makesRumseybelieve firmly that thispersonisRenn.
黑暗中,枪手的身影也越看越眼熟,更让拉姆齐确信这个人就是雷恩。„Are youRenn?”Rumseystunned, unbelievableasking.
“你是雷恩?”拉姆齐一阵愕然,难以置信的问道。Bang!
砰!The one whorepliedRumseywas a gunshot, hispresentflameflashes, immediatelyin the handtransmitted the severe pain, turned the headto look,discoveredownright palmvanished, was only left over the halfsmallarm, the bloodspout.
回答拉姆齐的是一声枪响,他的眼前火光一闪,随即手上传来剧痛,转头一看,发现自己的右手掌消失了,只剩下半截小臂,鲜血喷涌出来。„......”Rumseysends out the rendingpitiful yell.
“啊……”拉姆齐发出撕心裂肺的惨叫。Heuses the fractureplace of left handholding downsmallarm, triesto stopto bleed, but the useis not big, hurriedto nip the cloth stripwith the mouthfrom the clothes, tied down the woundto bind tightlyfast, relieved a pain.
他用左手按住小臂的断口处,试图止住流血,但是用处不大,又赶紧用嘴从衣服上咬下了布条,飞快缠住伤口绑紧,减轻了一点痛苦。Rennhas not opened fireagain, butdraws the fencing wall, againpalate.雷恩没有再开枪,只是拉动一下护木,重新上膛。Compared withhalf a month agoRumseytoall that oneselfmade, severalhours of beating mercilessly, thenkilled peopleto dump the corpse, nowbreaks his palmto collect an interest.
比起半个月前拉姆齐对自己所做的一切,几个小时的毒打,然后杀人抛尸,现在打断他一只手掌只是收点利息罢了。„Nowcansay?”Rennat a moderate pacesaying.
“现在可以说了吗?”雷恩不紧不慢的说道。Rumseyis pale, lookstoRenn, whydoes not dareto closely examineRennnot dead again, andbecomestranscendent. Inhisheartnearlydespairs, knows that Rennwill not let off itself, butwas unwillingdied, in the brainrotatedfast, wantsto findmeans of life.
拉姆齐脸色发白,看向雷恩,不敢再追问雷恩为什么没死,而且还成为了超凡者。他心中近乎绝望,知道雷恩不会放过自己,可是又不甘心就这么死去,脑中飞快转动,想找到一个活命的办法。In the eye of Renn, Rumsey'ssoulcolorbluebetweentransformsin the redblack saltback and forth, mixing with the fear, is despairingandangry, as well asmost intensehatred!
在雷恩的眼中,拉姆齐的灵魂颜色在红黑灰蓝之间来回变换,夹杂着害怕、绝望、愤怒,以及最强烈的仇恨!„Mytimeare not much, patient is also very limited.” The Rennmuzzlemoves.
“我的时间不多,耐心也很有限。”雷恩的枪口动了动。„Does not want, do not open fire!”
“不要,别开枪!”Rumseyliftshastilycompleteleft hand, begs for mercy saying: „Isaid.”
拉姆齐连忙把完好的左手举起来,求饶道:“我说。”„Allsburgis the Shadow Blademember, a Shadow Bladekiller. Hisreal namewas not calledAllsburg, butwasTrives, in the wanted list of empire, usedAllsburg'sstatustoLongshandelast year, probablytocarry out a secrettask.”
“艾斯伯格是影刃的成员,一名影刃杀手。他的真名也不叫艾斯伯格,而是特里弗,在帝国的通缉名单上,去年才用艾斯伯格的身份到隆杉德,好像是为了执行一个秘密任务。”
The Rennbrowwrinkled the wrinkle, is staggered.雷恩眉头皱了皱,感到有些意外。Heguessed that behindbeforeAllsburghas the influence on exist, has not thought that is actually Shadow Blade.
他之前就猜测艾斯伯格背后有势力存在,没想到却是影刃。
The Shadow Bladegiven nameheheard, thisis the empiremost famouskillerorganization, is it may be said that notorious, had existed for several hundredyears, violates the innumerablecases. EachShadow Bladekilleristranscendent, actuallydoes not limittoShadow Warrior, manyunusualprofessionmay be the Shadow Bladekiller, ambushesin the side of people.影刃的大名他有所耳闻,这是帝国最著名的杀手组织,可谓臭名昭著,已经存在了数百年,犯下无数大案。每个影刃杀手都是超凡者,却并不局限于影武者,很多超凡职业都有可能是影刃杀手,潜伏在人们的身边。
The empiresandthreebigchurcheshave triedto exterminatethiskillerorganization, but the Shadow Bladekilleractuallylike the weed, killedonebatchto braveonebatch, is not always ableto stamp out the source of trouble.
帝国和三大教会一直试图剿灭这个杀手组织,但是影刃杀手却像杂草一样,杀了一批又冒出来一批,总是无法斩草除根。HearsayShadow Bladeis so hardto eradicate, behind the reasonlies inthiskillerorganizesto have the Evil Godsupport, the memberbelievesthisEvil God, established the undergroundchurch, is the cults!
传闻影刃如此难以铲除,原因在于这个杀手组织背后有邪神支持,成员信仰这位邪神,成立了地下教会,也就是邪教!„Whatsecretduty?”Rennasked.
“什么秘密任务?”雷恩问道。„Ido not know.”
“我不知道。”Rumseyshakes the head, sees the spear/gun in darkness, frightensto hurryto explain: „Do not open fire, Ireallydo not know. AllsburgcomesLongshandeto carry out the task, Iguess correctlyaccidentally.”
拉姆齐摇了摇头,看到黑暗中的枪在动,吓得赶紧解释道:“别开枪,我是真的不知道。艾斯伯格来隆杉德执行任务,还是我无意中猜到的。”„Hefoundmeat the beginning of the year, promised that makesmehold the soul transformationceremonytomoney, lateralsohelpsmegaindemonic soul, buthewantsmeto keep the school, inquired that the matter in school, pays attention to the whereabouts of somegreat people.”
“他年初找到我,许诺给钱让我举行魂变仪式,以后还帮我获取魔魂,但是他要我留在学院,打听学院里的事情,注意一些大人物的行踪。”„Besidesme, Allsburgalsoplacedotherinformerin the school.”
“除了我以外,艾斯伯格在学院里还安插了别的眼线。”„Ihaveto bump intohissecretto contactwithothersonetime, discussedis very long, thatperson likely is also the Shadow Bladekiller, moreoverpositionAllsburgis higher. Ido not dareto approach, onlyhearsseveralcharacters, probablyis relatedwith the silver starschool, thatShadow Bladekillershouldambushin the silver starschool.”
“我有一次碰到他秘密跟别人接触,商量了很久,那个人很可能也是影刃杀手,而且地位比艾斯伯格更高。我不敢靠近,只听到几个字,好像跟银星学院有关,那个影刃杀手应该潜伏在银星学院里面。”Rennhearshere, inheartonecold.雷恩听到这里,心中一凛。
The Longshandecityhasthreeextraordinary academy, but the backgroundorteachersstrength, amongthreeschoolshas very bigdifference.隆杉德城有三座超凡学院,但是无论是背景还是师资力量,三家学院之间有着很大的差异。Claydon Institutepopulation that heandRumsey are most, but the strengthis also worst, the studentis primarily the civilians, so long asmakes a paymentcanenter, becomes the transcendentprobabilityto be lowest.
他和拉姆齐所在的克莱登学院人数最多,但是实力也最差,学生以平民为主,只要交钱就能进,成为超凡者的机率最低。However the studentbase number of Claydon Instituteis big, even the probabilityis lowest, transcendent that every yeartrains is actually most, accounted for the Longshandetotalover 60%.
不过克莱登学院的学生基数大,即使机率最低,每年培养出来的超凡者却是最多的,占了隆杉德总数六成以上。In fact, Claydon Instituteis the publicschool of empire, besidestrainingtranscendent, but also is equipped withmore than tenspecial courses. Includinggrammar, art, language, law, history, building, alchemy, machinerywait/etc, so long aslearns a curriculum, through the test, canreceive the graduation certificate of school.
实际上,克莱登学院是帝国的公办学院,除了培养超凡者以外,还设有十几个专业课程。包括文法、艺术、语言、法律、历史、建筑、炼金、机械等等,只要学好其中一门课程,通过考试,就能拿到学院的毕业证书。NextisStuart Hall Institute, is jointly establishedby the Longshandeupper class and bigmerchant, is primarily the eliteto educate, is the aristocratschool, every year the school expensesurpasses100golden Shield, the studentnumberonlyhas1/10 of Claydon Institute, but the family of eachstudentnon-richis expensive.
其次是斯图霍尔学院,由隆杉德的贵族阶层和大商人联合成立,以精英教育为主,属于贵族学院,每年学费超过一百金盾,学生数量仅有克莱登学院的十分之一,但是每个学生的家庭非富即贵。However, the Longshandebestschoolis the silver starschool.
然而,隆杉德最好的学院是银星学院。Because the silver starschoolis the dukeopens, andis the chief.
因为银星学院是公爵阁下开设的,并自任院长。
The silver starschoolonlyrecruits the talentbeststudent, not onlydoes not needto pay tuition, allexpensesallexempt, every monthgives back toallstudentsto provide a stipend, is equivalent toordinaryworkerthreemonths of wages. The soexcellentcondition, will attracttens of thousandspeopleto registerevery year, but onlyfew more than 100lucky fellowscanenter a school.
银星学院只招收天赋最好的学生,不但不用交学费,一切费用全免,每个月还给全体学生发放一笔助学金,相当于普通工人三个月的工资。如此优厚的条件,每年都会吸引几万人报名,但是只有寥寥一百多个幸运儿能够入学。Rennseveralyears ago alsoarrives at the silver starschoolto register, just like the overwhelming majorityperson, quickwas eliminated.雷恩几年前也到银星学院报名过,跟绝大多数人一样,很快就被淘汰了。Silverstar Duketakes one of the empireonly12Saint Soulwizard, the schoolis naturally primarilytrainingwizard, thereforepeopleare called the wizardschool the silver starschool.银星公爵作为帝国仅有的十二位圣魂巫师之一,学院自然是以培养巫师为主,所以人们又把银星学院叫作巫师学院。So long asgraduatesfrom the silver starschool, is qualified forWizard Towerto continueto study, orjoinsSecret Fire Guard of duke.
只要从银星学院毕业,就有资格进入巫师塔继续学习,或是加入公爵的秘火卫队。In other words , the silver starschool is actually the wizardtraining battalion of duke.
换言之,银星学院其实就是公爵的巫师训练营。IfRumseyreal, thatmeans that Shadow Bladehas schemedto the silver starschool, evenisaims atSilverstar Dukeoneself!
如果拉姆齐的话是真的,那就意味着影刃对银星学院有所图谋,甚至是针对银星公爵本人!Thispossiblyvibrates the entireOriense Empirebigevent.
这是可能震动整个奥瑞恩瑟帝国的大事件。
The Silverstar Dukestatusslightlymayextraordinarily, is not only the empireonlyhas one of the 12Saint Soulwizard, is the highest authorityorganization of empire„KemetisSupreme Council”member.银星公爵的身份非凡小可,不但是帝国仅有十二位圣魂巫师之一,还是帝国的最高权力机构“刻弥提斯至高议会”的成员。
The empireis known as the empire, butfromnew erastarting from1355, still more than 1000yearsdoes not have the emperor, every ten yearsonly thenSupreme Councildesignates„Archon”as the nominalleader, exercisesto govern the power of empire.
帝国号称帝国,但是从新纪元1355年开始,至今有一千多年没有皇帝了,只有至高议会每隔十年选定的“执政官”作为名义上的领袖,行使治理帝国的权力。AlthougheachSaint Soulwizardis the Supreme Councilmember, but the Silverstar Dukealsomore importantstatus, thatisGoddess of MagicGod's Chosen!
虽然每位圣魂巫师都是至高议会的成员,但是银星公爵还有一层更重要的身份,那就是魔法女神的神选者!Is ruledbywizardinone, andbelieves the Goddess of Magicempire, almostcould not discovercompared with a Silverstar Dukemore honoredcharacter.
在一个由巫师统治,并信仰魔法女神的帝国,几乎找不出比银星公爵更尊贵的人物了。Rennshakes the headslightly, thisgreat personleftfar, was not one's turn itselfto meddle.雷恩微微摇头,这种大人物离得太远了,轮不到自己去插手。Hedoes not think„is eating the lives of xxoil, with the hearts of xxsea”.
他可不想“吃着xx油的命,操着xx海的心”。EvenSilverstar Dukewere assassinated, hascopperResor'srelationswithme?
即使银星公爵被暗杀了,跟我有一个铜里索的关系?
The professionranksurpasses20th rankSaint Soulwizard, servesEvil GodShadow Bladein secret, the battle between both, affectsslightly, cangrind the flying ashoneselfconveniently.
无论是职业等级超过二十级的圣魂巫师,还是暗中侍奉邪神的影刃,两者之间的争斗,稍有波及,随手就能把自己碾成飞灰。Thistrulyis a bigsecret, but are not related withoneself.
这确实是一个大秘密,但是跟自己没关系。Renndoes not wantto closely examine the matter of schoolagain, saidlightly: „Whatlast words do youhave?”雷恩不想再追问学院的事情,淡淡说道:“你有什么遗言吗?”Rumseycomplexionbig change, frightenstrembles, saidloudly: „Renn, do not killme! Askedyou!”
拉姆齐脸色大变,吓得瑟瑟发抖,大声道:“雷恩,不要杀我!求求你!”„Until now, weare the bestfriends, youhave a falling outwith the family/home, withoutschool expense, thereforeIintroduced that you sword techniquehallis the assistanttoAllsburg, reallywantsto helpyou.”
“一直以来,我们都是最好的朋友,你跟家里闹翻,没有学费,所以我把你介绍到剑术馆给艾斯伯格当助手,真的只是想帮你。”„Youifat that timedid not go toChurch of Justice, howI may starttoyou?”
“你当时如果不去正义教会,我怎么可能会对你下手?”„Ido not wantto killyou, thisisAllsburgcompelsmy!”
“我也不想杀你,这都是艾斯伯格逼我的!”„Renn, Iam unfair toyou, looksinourseveralyears of schoolmate'sshare, keepsmylife! I am also compelto have no other choice, my motherserious illnessinbedmanyyears, the fatherowed the biggambling debts outside, thereforefollowedAllsburgto domanymisdemeanors, butthiswas notmyoriginal intention......”
“雷恩,我对不起你,看在我们几年同学的份上,留我一条命吧!我也是逼不得已,我母亲重病在床好多年了,父亲在外面欠了大笔赌债,所以才跟着艾斯伯格干了很多坏事,但这都不是我的本意……”Rumseyweep with loud noise confessed that lookedverypitiful, the onlycompleteleft handactuallygraspedsilton the sandbank, the kneescrawledon the ground, triesnot to pay attentionto approachwhileRenn.
拉姆齐声泪俱下的忏悔,看起来十分凄惨,唯一完好的左手却在河滩上抓了一把泥沙,双膝在地上爬行,试图趁着雷恩不注意靠近一些。Rennlooks atclearthesepetty actions.雷恩把这些小动作看得一清二楚。Thereforetouched off the triggerwithout hesitation.
于是毫不犹豫的扣动了扳机。Bang, the sound of gunfireresoundsin the riverside, Rumsey'sbegging for mercysoundstops suddenly, the headexplodeslike the watermelon, turns into a headlesscorpse.
砰,枪声在河边响起,拉姆齐的求饶声戛然而止,脑袋像西瓜一样爆开,变成一具无头尸体。
The soulfliestogether, was absorbedbyRenn.
一道灵魂飞出来,被雷恩吸收。Rennfeels the pleasant sensation that charge levelis rising, looksto the river surface, the nightbreezehas stroked the face, deeplyinspiresalsoto shoutslowly, inexplicablemoodreverberatein the chest.雷恩感受着电量上涨的快感,望向河面,夜晚的微风拂过脸庞,深吸了一口气又缓缓呼出来,有一种莫名的情绪在胸口回荡。Thismoodis calledto be happyandhappy, ownsoulseemed like the sublimation!
这种情绪叫作舒畅和痛快,自己的灵魂像是得到了升华!Herealized those wordsfinally: „The tastehoney of revengeis likely delightful.”
他终于体会到了那句话:“复仇的滋味像蜜糖般甜美。”
